Well I qualify for the 50+ but I've only been flying for about 18 years. Still I have talked to some fellows and gals that used to build everything that they fly. those were the days of dedication to your sport. I love all the pictures that you folks post here and I will probably be visiting often to see what is going on next.

When I left England nine years ago to retire to central France, I bought five gallons of 10% nitro and five gallons of straight fuel from Southern Modelcraft when it was based in Kent, it was handy for the ferry! I have used nearly all of the 10% but still have most of straight fuel. Yesterday I took my Calmato and Boomerang trainer to see how well they would run on straight fuel. The Calmato is powered by an OS 46 AX and the Boomerang by an Enya 50SS. Both engines required adjusting of course but both models flew well enough. The Enya is still a bit rich on the bottom end. Low wind speeds are forecast today so I'm going to try flying the Big Guff this afternoon on straight fuel. It is powered by a Laser 62.
No pictures I'm afraid, my camera has stopped working and I'm saving up for another but here are a few pictures from the archives!
Has anybody else been flying?
I landed on the glider strip!
A well-flown Boomerang ARTF trainer. I recovered the fuselage and tail in spare film owned by the club!
Big isn't it?
